| I want another dog (for me as the OH has taken Nico over somewhat) BUT can I decide what to have? Can I 'eck as like!! It's driving me mad as I really can't make my mind up so I have nothing.  | |

| have you had chance to go see any breeders and talk to them about the particular breed, as not sure whether this will help you make a decision? its a hard decision but im sure you find the right one for you   | |

| Can I offer advise on choosing a breed which suits you and which you like. I get this everyday with people calling and asking, I do pride myself on a 90% success rate!
I would need to ask you questions so if you would rather doing it PM I would most happily oblige, if you are happy to do it pubicly then likewise.
There is a lot to consider but what I try to do is match what you want out of a dog, what 'look' you want, what can the breed do for you and how the breed would fit in to your lifestyle. PHEW!!!
You have so many choices, working, pastoral, hound, toy etc etc....the question is which one would suit your circumstances?

| I love Staffies & there are so many out there needing a good home but then they have a poor reputation around horses so.................... What about another GSD? But I've always had GSDs and quite fancy a change so..................... What about rescuing a greyhound? They have such gorgeous eyes & again there are 1,000s needing a home but don't they chase cats? So.................... What about a Dalmatian? I love all those spots but I've heard they can be quite hyper. Nico is daft enough without an accomplice so................. What about a terrier of some sort? A Patterdale or a JRT. But the OH doesnt really like small dogs so................. What about a Deerhound? I love the look of them and it would be something different but then again I dont really know a lot about them so........... What about a Border Collie? I quite fancy the idea of doing some heelwork but I've heard they need constant stimulation & we are all out at work for some of the day so wouldn't she get bored? So..................... You see my dilemma?  | |

| No offence but they're not really my type of dog.
Think I might just stop looking & let the right dog find me | |
